Bob's Burgers Quotes

Context

This line was spoken by Tina Belcher, voiced by Dan Mintz, in episode 7 of season 2, "Moody Foodie," in the TV show Bob's Burgers (2011-).

As any former or current teenager knows, flirting can be terrifying. Especially for Tina Belcher, who pines after Jimmy Pesto and his fabulous dance moves and butt. Unfortunately, they are separated by the length of a road and their fathers' rival restaurants.

In this episode, however, Tina isn't flirting with Jimmy Pesto, but trying to convince a food critic, fittingly named Moody Foodie, not to destroy Bob's Burgers with a single, scathing review. Unfortunately, Tina's charm bomb does explode, and Moody Foodie ends up getting a wet willy. Maybe Bob should've gone with his more pragmatic and pink-bunny-hat-wearing daughter Louise's advice and just slipped a twenty in the critic's burger.
